In the advertising world, it’s not advertising, it’s a promotion

For example, if you go to the grocery store, there is a difference between hearing/seeing something that says, “bananas are on special today” vs “go buy [specific brand] of cereal today!”

still sucks though

I have a great seeding record, but cant find any private trackers to join…

Where do i start?

i only re-started my torrenting activities in the last few years since the streaming landscape has become a hellscape

mean…you really don’t need an extensive subway network here

Found the 905’er

The streetcar network is a complete shitshow. Multiple streetcars bunched up, with hundreds of people inside, being blocked by a few SUV drivers and parked cars on the side of the street.

Its faster to bike or walk in most cases.

Same for the buses. There’s a reason the bus lines here have nicknames like “the sufferin’ dufferin”

I think the problem is that a lot of people are just running flatpaks, dockers, and third party repos which might not be getting timely updates.

I try to stick to debian packages for everything as much as possible for this reason.

It’s Luigi time!

Docker doesnt replace your current system. It just runs containers (which act like a separate system)

You can also try podman which wont silently rewrite your firewall rules without telling you… I’ll never forgive docker for doing that

People share photos and videos all the time on mastodon. What is the difference with pixelfed?

Geez, that still exists too??? Is sharebear still around? Limewire? Kazaa???

awesome! i’ll check this out!

sorry for the n00b question, but why do i need to self host a persistent daemon and then connect to it using a webUI? can’t i just use a soulseek client on my local machine? i’m not really familiar with the architecture of soulseek.

Cool!

Is there any good content on soulseek? The last time i downloaded music from that era, it was all 96kbps realplayer audio files totally mislabelled with the wrong artist

I’m relatively new to lemmy, so i guess i missed all the other events

Personally, i loved voidfest. I spent more time on lemmy to catch them all!

I feel like what you described should be a big fat warning on the nextcloud page

OP is a lot more gracious than most internet users by accepting some responsibility. But i wouldnt blame them. I might have done the same, and i’ve been self hosting nextcloud for 8 years now.

Thats why i said client side view. Each servers community doesnt know i’m viewing 3 communities together on my phone and it doesnt affect them

The biggest problem with lemmy for me is the multiple “duplicate” communities.

There should be a feature to combine them at the client level. So the 3 different “privacy” communities could just be viewed as one on my lemmy client

Having children, at this juncture, with what we know, is profoundly selfish

Not just having children, but raising them to continue the same “driving huge SUV everywhere” costco lifestyle that got us into this mess

I would vote for him as prime minister… The federal NDPs need a change

I hope you’re upgrading from debian buster to bullseye!

I mean, compared to the sterotypical salaryman hours, it is short

Shit must be really bad in japan if this dude is doing OK making just over minimum wage, in the highest (or second highest) cost of living cities in canada…
